Fencing is one of the easiest industries to “get into” for start-up business and novice laborers. For these people, who are looking to make a few extra dollars installing fences; a shovel, a level, and a string line may be all they need.
As a result, there are many individuals and/or companies who show up in South Jersey Shore, install residential fences for a short time, then disappear. We see it all the time. Beware! You only want to work with a fully licensed and insured fencing contractor in South Jersey Shore.
Here are some of the main pitfalls of working with non-professionals:
The Residential Fence Warranty is Void
If the individual or company that installed your residential fence isn't still around, the workmanship warranty on the fence and the gates is worthless. Additionally, some manufacturers won't warranty their fence material if it was damaged during installation or installed improperly - which is very common with non-professionals.
The Fence Almost Certainly Won't Last As Long
As a professional fencing contractor, our team of installers undergoes rigorous training and constant professional supervision. We are dedicated to improving our knowledge and skills of the best fencing materials and the best fence installation techniques in order to maximize the strength and life of your fence. Companies that simply install fences as something they do "on the side" usually have no idea how much they actually don't know about residential fencing ... and what is best for you and your property.
Putting Your Property at Risk
Installing residential fence in the REGION area is actually somewhat risky. Sudden, harsh weather during the installation of a fence can blow materials - damaging your home. We've seen concrete splatter up onto cars or drip down beautiful driveways or walkways - as buckets of wet concrete are transported. Deep tire tracks sinking into your grass is another common issue. The secondary damage to homes and yards while installing fences by untrained labor is a very common thing.
Additionally, anyone hurt on your property while they are working puts you at risk! If you hire an unlicensed or uninsured contractor - you may be liable and your homeowners insurance may deny payment!
At first glance, hiring a novice to install your fence may appear to save you a few dollars, but in the long run it is almost certainly a price that you simply cannot afford to pay!
There is no bad time of year to get a commercial fence in South Jersey Shore. As professional fencing contractors, we build fences across South Jersey Shore all year!

There are many small fence companies in South Jersey Shore that list commercial fencing as one of their services. If you have a very small commercial fencing project, then a fence company that typically does mostly residential fencing is probably qualified for the job. Otherwise, be sure to stick with a company that is equipped and specially trained for commercial fence projects.
Also be sure to choose a reliable fence company that has been around. Here are some of the most common pitfalls of using an unreliable, unlicensed, or uninsured commercial fencing contractor:
The commercial Fence Warranty is Void
If the company that installed your commercial fence isn't still in business down the road, the workmanship warranty on the fence and the gates is worthless. Additionally, some manufacturers won't warranty their fence material if it was damaged during installation or installed improperly - which is fairly common.
The Fence Almost Certainly Won't Last As Long
As a professional fencing contractor, our team of installers undergoes rigorous training and constant professional supervision. We are dedicated to improving our knowledge and skills of the best fencing materials and the best fence installation techniques for commercial fencing in order to maximize the strength and life of your fence. Companies that simply install fences as something they do "on the side" usually have no idea how much they actually don't know about commercial fencing ... and what is best for you and your property.
Putting Your Property at Risk
Installing commercial fences in the South Jersey Shore area is actually somewhat risky. Sudden, harsh weather during the installation of a fence can blow materials - damaging your business or customer's cars. We've seen concrete splatter up onto cars or drip down long stretches of walkways and driveways - as wet concrete or other materials are transported. The secondary damage to businesses or your customers' vehicles while installing fences by poorly trained labor is a very common thing.
Additionally, anyone hurt on your property while they are working puts you at risk! If you hire an unqualified fencing contractor - you may be liable.
At first glance, hiring a "cheaper" fence company to install your commercial fence may appear to save you a few dollars, but in the long run it is almost certainly a price that you simply cannot afford to pay!

We are a full service fence company that specializes in aluminum fence installation, so you do not need to work hard to get a great new fence to protect your home or business.
DIY Fence Estimate
If you'd like to get a rough idea on your own about how much fencing you will need, follow these easy steps:
Caution!
Aluminum fencing is priced and sold by SECTIONS, not by linear feet! Even when the linear footage is included specifically on price estimates ... the total number of aluminum fence sections is a factor in this pricing. So, "price per linear foot" is only a rough estimate and rarely represents the actual cost of the finished aluminum fence!
This is a very interesting difference that we would love to explore and explain to you if you'd like to speak with one of our fence experts further. Be aware, "price per linear foot" is a ploy that many unprofessional fence installers in the South Jersey Shore area use!
Aluminum fencing is unique in its ability to be utilized for such a wide array of applications. Listed below are some of the most popular applications of aluminum fencing:
Every local municipality in South Jersey Shore has a separate set of requirements when it comes to building permits, and that includes aluminum fencing. Sometimes the specific height of the fence or placement of the fence or purpose of the fence can impact the need for a permit. There are also HOA considerations in some areas.

There are many small fence companies in South Jersey Shore that install aluminum fencing. Very few of them specifically train their teams on the best installation techniques and practices for installing aluminum fencing. Unfortunately, this means that your aluminum fence is almost certainly not installed as securely as it could be - which, ultimately, can reduce the quality and lifespan of your fence.
Inferior installation techniques and using improper tools can also damage the aluminum fence during installation which may have the unfortunate impact of voiding the manufacturer's warranty - because you chose an unqualified contractor not approved by the manufacturer.

Whether you need a residential vinyl fence or a commercial-grade vinyl fence, it generally only takes a few days (maximum) for one of our fence experts to get to most areas of South Jersey Shore - to walk your property and give you a detailed estimate of your entire vinyl fence project.
You can certainly call us to get even faster answers from our fence experts!
Once you approve the estimate, we can often install vinyl fences in most of South Jersey Shore within 1 to 3 weeks, but please check with our office of your specific project. There are times throughout the year where that timeframe may be less, or it may be longer.
There are "other" things that can delay the start of a fencing project. If you select a specific vinyl fence style, color, or options that need to be special ordered; that will often delay the installation of your fence. Like nearly every fencing contractor in the South Jersey Shore, we do not stock a large amount of custom vinyl fencing options. We will help you to identify, in advance, any of your choices that are known to be likely to cause these additional delays, and we will offer alternatives whenever possible.

Fence placement is ultimately the responsibility of you, the customer. Moving a fence after it's already been installed can be costly. It's never a bad idea to get a survey to be safe. However, in many cases we are more than happy to assist you in locating your property lines and installing your fence without an official survey. In many cases, the property lines are clear and well-marked. In these cases, paying for a survey is probably not necessary.

Pricing on all fencing materials can fluctuate, but generally speaking, the up-front cost of wood fencing is usually lower than some other types of fencing.

Important!
We encourage you to speak with one of our fence experts before focusing solely on price! There are cheaper, very poor quality wood grades that are commonly used by other fencing contractors in South Jersey Shore to cut costs. These lower quality wood options are not only inferior, but they will absolutely not last! We don't use them.
There are also very inexperienced and unprofessional fence installers who continually cut corners in their labor and installation techniques who don't stand behind their work (regardless of what their so-called-warranty says).
Wood fences must stand up to the physical demands of the South Jersey Shore weather, the sun, wind, changing humidity levels,and physical abuse from falling branches, landscapers, neighbors, animals, and more.
Shopping for the cheapest fence is usually not the best way to make a decision about the fence you want to protect and beautify your property.
Wood fences typically have no warranty on materials but do have a workmanship warranty.
However, there are certain options you can choose that do come with warranties, even on the materials! Speak with one of our fence experts to learn the specific details of the wood fence options that you are considering.
With their durability and long-lasting design, ornamental iron fences are a great choice for many residential and commercial properties across the Surf City area and beyond. The variety of styles, colors, and decorative options make ornamental iron a versatile option that can accommodate many fencing requirements.
One of the most appealing aspects of ornamental iron fences is their resistance to rust and corrosion. The metal's engineering and the protective coating it comes with help assure a long-lasting product with minimal maintenance and no peeling or chipping. You can also have peace of mind thanks to the manufacturer's warranty, which protects your fence.
Another great benefit to using ornamental iron is that it is recyclable and can be put to use for something else. You will likely never need to replace your ornamental iron fence and they can last for decades. The material is easily recyclable and reusable and can be easily melted down and repurposed. So, the chance that your metal fence will end up in a landfill is very low.
Ornamental iron fences hold up well to all weather types, including rain and snow. Plus, it is pest-resistant. You won't need to worry about termites or other insects gnawing on its parts. They also won't warp or fade due to water or excessive sun exposure.
You can expect an ornamental fence in the Surf City area are made to last a lifetime! It is not surprising that ironwork from the past has endured for so long given the sturdy, resilient metal it is made from. The durability of your ornamental iron fence is affected by a number of variables, including the climate, maintenance, and protective coating, but despite these, you can be confident that your fence will last for a very long time.
Ornamental iron fencing needs very little maintenance over its lifetime at your South Jersey Shore property. For the most part, all you need is water and a cleaning liquid to keep your fences in pristine condition. Being proactive is the best way to make sure your fence will last without any issues by not planting bushes too close to your fence and avoiding damaging your fence with lawn tools. Other than a rinse every now and then, your ornamental iron fence should need no major cleaning or repairs, and you'll also receive a manufacturer's warranty that should cover major problems for your peace of mind.
